please be cybertrucks please be cybertrucks please be cybertrucks please be cybertrucks please be cybertrucks please be cybertrucks please be cybertrucks...

...aside from the egregious waste of money, that would be the epic fail to end all and a perfect symbol of this administration.

 

[Lazaran]

Look at that ACTUAL grift.







We. Told. Them. So.

$400 million? How many cybertrucks is that?

 

[Politruk]

Are ambassadors going to ride in these instead of limos?

 

[Chernosoth]

It's the ugliest truck in production, maybe the ugliest truck ever made. That is appropriate for government work.

Sending American troops off to battle in a battery powered truck.
Beep fucking beep.
Able to withstand a baseball being thrown at it at 70 mph! Can withstand a class 4 hailstorm!

Money quote for the ages

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said his (Musk's) conflicts will be policed by Musk himself. If he is conflicted, he will recuse himself.

Well okay then.

Interesting...the State Department's original budget document listed "Armored Teslas" as a line item until 9 pm tonight when it magically was edited to read "Armored Electric Vehicles"

To be sure, the department's forecast was made under the Biden administration and was last revised on December 23, 2024, weeks before President Donald Trump took office on January 20.

The order was placed before Trump took office. Nothing is etched in stone just yet. DOGE derangement syndrome.

Move along,nothing to see here.
You can smell the corruption from Washington in New Zealand.

The US government owns about 650,000 vehicles.

This is a nothing story.

Biden loves Teslas. Lol

“However, the line item was added during the Biden Administration before Trump was sworn in on Jan. 20, 2025.”

I seldom agree with what you post, but you're 100% dead on with this one.

“However, the line item was added during the Biden Administration before Trump was sworn in on Jan. 20, 2025.”

Then why hasn't Trump cancelled it?

Tee hee

Nothing in the article said the administration has or will approve the purchase.

 

[Fuzzy1975]

Nothing in the article said the administration has or will approve the purchase.

Nothing in the article say won't either. So why hasn't it been announced as it is cancelled?

[Elizabeth Holms riots] Geez, the case hasn’t even gone to the jury and the rioters in CA are already looting the high end fashion stores. If the verdict goes the wrong way the streets of Walnut Creek, San Francisco, and LA could be filled with blondes in black turtlenecks. Not even going to guess how this would all go down if she were black.

The line item was added AFTER the November 4th election in December 2024.

Musk's high schooler nerds began "examining" the federal budget with the assistance of feckless State Dept employees eager to curry favor with co-President Pumpkinhead.

Donald's way of repaying Musk for that 200 million campaign donation? Sounds like him. Let the US taxpayers pay it back.

You might be surprised to learn that Biden was still president in 2024. I understand why you’re confused. Many people wondered where the elderly gentleman with memory problems was during his term.

It's ok for foreign woke bullshit that does NOTHING for the American citizen.

At least we get vehicles out of this. Which is more than the Democrats ever delivered.....
